Anne Genetet, the newly appointed French Minister of Education, is facing significant scrutiny and criticism following her nomination.

Her background, which includes founding a consultancy for expatriates in Singapore, has raised concerns among educators and unions who question her suitability for the role.

Critics argue that her experience is disconnected from the realities of the French education system.

Despite the backlash, Genetet remains focused on her priorities, emphasizing the need to "elevate the level" of education and ensure school security.

She plans to collaborate with the Interior Ministry to enhance safety measures in schools, including the installation of cameras and security personnel.

Genetet's approach to combating antisemitism and promoting secularism in schools is also a key focus of her agenda.

As she navigates these challenges, Genetet aims to prove her competence by addressing pressing issues within the education sector.
